SEEKING
Electronic Music, Keyboard, Other, Piano, Trombone.ABOUT
I am currently a rising junior music major at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, specializing in bass trombone performance. I have a very extensive background in music. I have been playing the piano for sixteen years and the trombone for eleven years. I also play the sousaphone in the Minuteman Marching Band at UMass Amherst. Prior to graduating Longmeadow High School, I studied tenor and bass trombone with Jim Messbauer at the Community Music School of Springfield for a total of six years. Since the start of my college career in 2014, I have been studying with Greg Spiridopoulos at UMass Amherst.
I am fluent in all genres of music: classical, jazz, latin, swing, funk, rock, dixieland, etc. Music is my passion, and there is nothing more I want than to have a job in this field. After college, I hope to be the bass trombonist of a United States military band.
